Unión remains firmly in the playoff zone, with Rafael Profini as its great silent driving force. The midfielder now has five assists in the competition, delivered in key matches against Sarmiento (3), Independiente (1), and Boca (1). These numbers place him at the top of the assist charts alongside Sebastián Villa of Independiente Rivadavia.

Under Leonardo Madelón’s guidance, Profini has evolved: to his usual work rate and defensive edge, he has added remarkable precision in the final third. After the win over Deportivo Riestra, it became clear that the midfielder is no longer just a balancing piece, but has become one of the most productive playmakers in the championship.
